How would doing this affect my categories and archives? That's not a huge concern for me because each past issue will have its own page with HTML links to old stories, but I want to make sure it wouldn't mess anything up too badly.

I think I may have a solution that will work for your site with the Oxygen theme. First a bit about how the Showcase template works:

- It displays recent posts in reverse chronological order.
- It will always display the three most recent posts under the "Recent Articles" heading. This cannot be changed.
- The remaining recent posts will be displayed under the "More Articles" heading. You can change the number of posts displayed here, but it will also affect other parts of your site like category and tag archives.

How many posts does an issue normally have?

If the answer is close to 10+ then this solution might work really well.

When you release a new issue containing 10 posts, the latest three will display under "Recent Articles" leaving us with 7. You can trick the "More Articles" section into displaying only 7 posts by adjusting the value of the "Blog pages show at most" option found in Settings → Reading. This will make sure that the older posts from the last issue do not display on your homepage.

In the event that each issue only contains about 4 posts, this solution may not be the best because your archives and search results would only display 1 or 2 posts per page.

Please let me know if this makes sense and if you think it will work.

Wed, 26 Dec 2012 05:50:24 +0000parablepress1103592@https://en.forums.wordpress.com/I'm not sure that I was clear, so let me try to clarify: each "issue" will be hosted on a single page, the most recent of which will use the Showcase Page template, and each "article" will be in a single post.

This is what I'd like to do:
For the newest issue -- the Showcase Page -- I want the "recent" and "more" articles to not show anything before, say, a certain date. Or, if necessary, not show posts which I choose that section to ignore.

Sun, 23 Dec 2012 00:24:13 +0000timethief1101762@https://en.forums.wordpress.com/In Oxygen, there is no way to show posts in both the featured post slider and the Recent Articles area. It's been designed to not to have duplicated posts on the Showcase Page template page. Also note there is no option to display more than three Recent Articles on the Showcase Page template.

... each issue will have a separate page, the most recent one using the Showcase Page template.

I don't have access to customizing the CSS because I'm using the free version. ... is there any way to remove articles from the "recent" and "more" article headers?

Not that I am aware of.

Of course, I don't want stories from Issue One to show up in the Showcase Page for Issue Two; is there any way to remove articles from the "recent" and "more" article headers?
